Neil deGrasse Tyson would be the closest in today's age that I'm aware of (I don't track astrophysicists...sadly lol). Tyson however always seems like he has a much bigger ego so he's definitely a bit of a distant 2 behind Sagan.
Forrest Valkai has a very different style, and mostly about evolutionary biology instead of space, but is pretty cool. Nobody else has successfully gotten me excited about mitochondria.
I recognised Gavin's artwork immediately. It was/is all great stuff. I don't know if you can still order prints but he's the only person I ever ordered a print of anything from.
Damn straight. I've been thinking I should post some of his stuff here, and just hadn't gotten around to it yet. And my favorite one is pretty long, so I'm not sure how well such a big post would be received.
I get that it's best he move on to other things rather than burn himself out on something he's lost the spark for, but I do miss him. I used to look forward to those a lot.
I've never run into someone else that knows about it, let alone two :)

Edit: Iām wrong, never mind.

ZenPencils did some great artwork based on a lot of thoughtful quotes over the years he was active.
